The value isn't bad, but not sure it makes sense for the Heat to swap Bam for AD given their current direction.

I don't think a single Heat fan would go for this. We'd rather have Bam. And especially throwing in more? Yeah, that's an easy no.

I also feel like there's an emotional component here. Bam is a beloved Heat vet of 8 years. A 3 time all-star, top 5 in DPOY voting five times. Top 5 for them in games, points, rebounds, assists, etc, a hard worker and emotional leader, who plays the right way and is an extremely versatile and valuable player type. He was an integral part of 2 finals runs, and an ECF run that was a hair away from being a 3rd finals appearance. You're not trading a guy like that unless it's a slam dunk. This is a guy whose jersey you're retiring.
